Method for Tilt Measurement and Compensation of Surveying Instrument Based On GNSS Receiver and IMU Sensor

ABSTRACT

A method for tilt measurement and compensation of a GNSS RTK surveying instrument based on a GNSS receiver and an IMU sensor is proposed. Based on the algorithm principle of the Kalman filter, the prediction and the correction of the designed multi-dimensional unknown state variable are cycled for multiple times to make the multi-dimensional unknown state variable approach the true value as much as possible. Then, based on the multi-dimensional unknown state variable, the latest three-dimensional attitude angle from the XYZ coordinate system to the NED coordinate system and the latest rotation matrix can be obtained efficiently and accurately. Finally, the coordinate of the antenna phase center of the GNSS receiver is reduced to the coordinate of the bottom end of the pole by a geometric transformation. In addition, no factory calibration is needed as the self-calibration can always be done during the operation process.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of surveying and mapping using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and real time kinematic (RTK) instrument, and particularly relates to a method for tilt measurement and compensation of a GNSS RTK surveying instrument based on a GNSS receiver and an IMU sensor.

BACKGROUND

In conventional RTK surveying, where the pole needs to be leveled with a level bubble by a surveyor, the latitude and longitude of the antenna phase center of the GNSS RTK surveying instrument are exactly the latitude and longitude of the target point to be surveyed at the bottom of the pole. The height of the target point can be obtained by simply subtracting the known distance between the bottom of the pole and the antenna phase center of the GNSS RTK surveying instrument from the height of the antenna phase center of the GNSS RTK surveying instrument. However, for precise measurement, the pole needs to be held in a vertical position by the surveyor for about half a minute. It is very difficult to always hold the pole vertical on the target point, and such a method reduces the productivity. In addition, in some cases, for example when measuring at corners of the building, limited by the volume of the GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System, which is the standard generic term for satellite navigation systems that provide autonomous geo-spatial positioning with global coverage including global satellite navigation systems, regional satellite navigation systems, and satellite navigation augmentation systems, such as America's Global Positioning System (GPS), Russia's GLONASS, Europe's GALILEO, and China's BEIDOU Navigation Satellite System, and related augmentation systems, such as the America's Wide Area Augmentation System, Europe's European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service, and Japan's Multi-Functional Transport Satellite Augmentation System, etc.) receiver, it is not possible to hold the pole vertically. Although the latest GNSS RTK surveying instrument is offering the function of tilt measurement and compensation, and the position of the bottom of the pole can be calculated with a tilt of less than 20 degrees over a few seconds, to achieve the tilt measurement, the real-time tilt angle and azimuth angle of the GNSS RTK surveying instrument are required, thus an angle measuring system should be provided.

Currently, an angle measuring system composed of an inclinometer and a magnetometer sensor is used to directly measure the attitude angle and the azimuth angle, respectively. However, this method has the following drawbacks: (1) the accuracy of the angle measured by the inclinometer is only acceptable in static measurement, and the accuracy of the measured tilt angle will be reduced due to the movements of the pole caused by wind or other external forces; (2) if a sudden magnetic disturbance is caused, for example, due to a passing by car, the measured azimuth angle will have a relatively large error with a notable fluctuation; (3) not knowing the condition of the magnetic environment may cause a large error on the magnetic calibration result, directly reducing the accuracy in the subsequent procedures; and (4) to be cost-effective, a low-cost sensor is usually employed, and the 100% reliability of the low-cost device cannot be guaranteed. To summarize, the existing tilt measuring method has low tilt angle accuracy and may cause large azimuth angle error.

Although some manufacturers (such as Shanghai Huace Navigation Technology Ltd.) are trying to mount the IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit, a device for measuring a body's attitude angles at three axes or angular rates and accelerations, generally uses a combination of one accelerometer, one gyroscope per axis for each of the three axes, wherein, acceleration signals of the three axes of a body coordinate system of the object are individually detected by the accelerometers, and the angular rate signals of the body relative to the navigation coordinate system are detected by the gyroscopes, so the three-dimensional angular rates and accelerations of the object can be measured to calculate the solution of the object attitude) sensor under the antenna phase center and require calibration before delivery, these solutions are not very practical for the low-cost IMU sensor. Moreover, the solution of Shanghai Huace Navigation Technology Ltd. requires to calibrate the error of the installation angle caused during the production process, but it does not disclose how to calibrate the installation angle (such as the curvature of the pole) caused in the operations.

The advantages of the present disclosure are as follows.

(1) The present disclosure provides a tilt measurement and compensation system based on an extremely low-cost IMU sensor, and by improving the tilt measurement and compensation method, based on the algorithm principle of the Kalman filter, the prediction and the correction of the designed multi-dimensional unknown state variables are cycled for multiple times to make the multi-dimensional unknown state variables approach the true values as much as possible. Then, based on the multi-dimensional unknown state variables, the latest three-dimensional attitude angles (i.e., the roll angle, the pitch angle and the yaw angle) from the XYZ coordinate system to the NED coordinate system and the latest rotation matrix can be obtained efficiently and accurately. In the end, the coordinate of the antenna phase center of the GNSS receiver is reduced to the coordinate of the bottom end of the pole by a geometric transformation, thereby completing the tilt measurement.

(2) The surveyor is completely free from the task of centering the level bubble and leveling the pole, which improves the work efficiency. Moreover, without introducing the magnetic components, the tilt measurement is immune to magnetic disturbances, so the tilt measurement errors can be avoided, ensuring the accuracy of the tilt measurement.

(3) The IMU sensor can be placed anywhere inside the GNSS receiver, and the magnetic sensor may or may not be included, thereby improving the design flexibility and reducing the production difficulty of the GNSS RTK surveying instrument and facilitating practical application.

(4) The installation pitch angle and the installation roll angle can be estimated, so that the angular error caused during the assembling process of the device can be eliminated, and the angular error caused by the non-vertical pole (e.g., curved pole) can be avoided, thereby reducing the application restrictions of the device, and being appropriate for various kinds of poles without requiring any type of factory calibration as the self-calibration can always be done during operation. Compared with conventional GNSS tilt measurement and compensation and competing products, the present disclosure greatly improves the work efficiency and accuracy and eliminates the unnecessary production processes.

Embodiment 1

As shown in FIGS. 1-2, a GNSS RTK surveying instrument provided in this embodiment includes the pole 1, the GNSS receiver 2, the IMU sensor 3 and the microprocessor 4. The GNSS receiver 2 is provided at the tip of the pole 1. The IMU sensor 3 is provided on the pole 1 and includes a three-axis accelerometer and a three-axis gyroscope. The microprocessor 4 is also provided on the pole 1 and is in communication with the GNSS receiver 2 and the IMU sensor 3, respectively. As shown in FIG. 1, the pole 1, the GNSS receiver 2, the IMU sensor 3, and the microprocessor 4 are all common accessories of the existing GNSS RTK surveying instrument. The difference between the GNSS RTK surveying instrument of this embodiment and the existing GNSS RTK surveying instrument is that, by employing the following novel tilt measurement and compensation method, the IMU sensor 3 can be randomly arranged on the pole 1 like the microprocessor 4 rather than being limited right under the GNSS receiver 2, thereby greatly reducing unnecessary production processes, production difficulty, and cost.

The method for tilt measurement and compensation of the GNSS RTK surveying instrument includes: wirelessly receiving GNSS data by the GNSS receiver 2, collecting and acquiring IMU data by the IMU sensor 3, and obtaining the position coordinate of the bottom end of the pole 1 by the microprocessor 4 according to the following steps S101-S108. The GNSS data is a commonly used term when it comes to the existing GNSS receivers, and the GNSS data includes, but is not limited to, 1PPS signals (i.e., GPS-disciplined crystal oscillator outputs a 10 MHz signal which is subjected to frequency division for 10M times to obtain the time information of one pulse per second (1 pps)) and NMEA GPGGA data (NMEA is the abbreviation of National Marine Electronics Association of U.S., which is nowadays used as a unified standard protocol of Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services (RTCM) for GPS navigation devices; and GPGGA is the sentences of the output format of the GPS data, which means the main data of GPS positioning of one frame, which is one of the most widely used data in the NMEA format. The sentence includes seventeen fields: sentence identification header, Coordinated Universal Time, latitude, N/S Indicator, longitude, E/W Indicator, position fix indicator, number of satellites used, Horizontal Dilution of Precision (HDOP), height of geoid above ellipsoid, height unit, geoid Separation, height unit, age of differential GPS data, differential reference station ID, checksum, which are separated by 14 commas, respectively). The longitude, latitude, height, N-direction velocity, E-direction velocity, D-direction velocity, etc., of the antenna phase center in the NED coordinate system (i.e., the geographic coordinate system, also known as the north-east-down coordinate system or the navigation coordinate system, is a reference coordinate system for navigation solution selected according to the needs of the navigation system during navigation, and the definition of the axes of the NED coordinate system is as below: N—a northern axis directs to the north of the earth; E—an eastern axis directs to the east of the earth; D—an axis perpendicular to the surface of the earth and directs downwards) can be obtained from the GNSS data by existing methods. The IMU data is a commonly used term when it comes to the existing IMU sensors, and the three-axis acceleration, the three-axis angular velocity, and the three-dimensional attitude angle (i.e., roll angle, pitch angle and yaw angle) of the origin of the XYZ coordinate system (i.e., the three-axis coordinate system of the IMU sensor, also known as the vehicle-coordinate system) can be obtained from the IMU data by the existing methods.

S101, a dynamical model and an observational model of a Kalman filter are established as follows:

$\quad\left\{ \begin{matrix} {x_{k} = {{Fx}_{k - 1} + w_{k - 1}}} \\ {y_{k} = {{Hx_{k}} + v_{k}}} \end{matrix} \right.$

where, x_(k) is a state value of an unknown state variable x at a time point k, x_(k-1) is a state value of the unknown state variable x at a time point (k−1), y_(k) is an observational value of known observational variable y at a time point k, F is a transfer matrix, H is an observational matrix, w_(k-1) is a Gaussian dynamical noise, v_(k) is a Gaussian observational noise, and k is a positive integer; the unknown state variable x includes the following nine variables of the IMU sensor 3: a longitude error dϕ, a latitude error dλ, a height error dh, an N-direction velocity deviation dv_(n), an E-direction velocity deviation dv_(e), a D-direction velocity deviation dv_(d), a roll angle deviation dρ_(r), a pitch angle deviation dρ_(p), and a yaw angle deviation dρ_(q), in a north-east-down (NED) coordinate system; the known observational variable y includes the following six observational variables of the IMU sensor 3: a longitude observational error Δϕ, a latitude observational error Δλ, a height observational error Δh, an N-direction velocity observational deviation Δv_(n), an E-direction velocity observational deviation Δv_(e), and a D-direction velocity observational deviation Δv_(d), in the NED coordinate system.

In the step S101, the Kalman filter is an algorithm that performs optimal estimation for the system state by inputting and outputting the observational data with the system based on a linear/discrete system state equation. Since the observational data involves the effects of noise and interference in the system, the optimal estimation can also be considered as a filtering process. The working principle of the Kalman filter can be found in the existing literature “Kalman filter: from principle to implementation” (https://www.cnblogs.com/zhoug2020/p/8376509.html).

In the step S101, specifically, the matrix elements of the transfer matrix F can be derived from conventional formulas by a person skilled in the art according to the existing geographic surveying and mapping knowledge. For example, the matrix elements of the transfer matrix F may be, but not limited to, obtained by converting and calculating according to a first position error state equation, a first velocity deviation state equation, and a first attitude deviation state equation below:

S102, after setting a tilt measurement mode, an initial state value x₀ of the unknown state variable x is obtained, and the variable k is initialized to 1.

In the step S102, specifically, when the unknown state variable x includes nine variables, the initial state value x₀ of the unknown state variable x may be obtained, but not limited to, the following method:

initializing the longitude error (dϕ)₀, the latitude error (dλ)₀, the height error (dh)₀, the N-direction velocity deviation (dv_(n))₀, the E-direction velocity deviation (dv_(e))₀, and the D-direction velocity deviation (dv_(d))₀ in the initial state value x₀ to 0, respectively;

initializing the roll angle deviation (dρ_(r))₀, the pitch angle deviation (dρ_(p))₀, and the yaw angle deviation (dρ_(q))₀ in the initial state value x₀ as follows:

$\quad\left\{ \begin{matrix} {\left( {d\; \rho_{r}} \right)_{0} = {\sin^{- 1}\left( {\left( f_{x} \right)_{0}/g} \right)}} \\ {\left( {d\; \rho_{p}} \right)_{0} = {\sin^{- 1}\left( {\left( f_{y} \right)_{0}/g} \right)}} \\ {\left( {d\; \rho_{q}} \right)_{0} = {\tan^{- 1}\left( {\left( v_{n} \right)_{0}/\left( v_{e} \right)_{0}} \right)}} \end{matrix} \right.$

where, (f_(x))₀ is an X-axis acceleration obtained from the IMU data at the initial time, (f_(y))₀ is a Y-axis acceleration obtained from the IMU data at the initial time, g is a gravity acceleration of the surveying location, (v_(n))₀ is a N-axis velocity obtained from the GNSS data at the initial time, and (v_(e))₀ is an E-axis velocity obtained from the GNSS data at the initial time. Specifically, the gravity acceleration g of the surveying location is calculated according to the following formula:

g=χ ₁(1+χ₂(sin λ₀ ^(gnss))²+χ₃(sin λ₀ ^(gnss))⁴)+(χ₄+χ₅(sin λ₀ ^(gnss))²)h ₀ ^(gnss)+λ₆(h ₀ ^(gnss))²

where, λ₀ ^(gnss) is a latitude of the antenna phase center obtained from the GNSS data at the initial time, h₀ ^(gnss) is a height of the antenna phase center obtained from the GNSS data at the initial time, and χ₁, χ₂, χ₃, χ₄, χ₅ and χ₆ are well-known parameters for calculating the gravitational acceleration g, respectively. Further, more specifically, when the IMU sensor 3 includes a magnetic sensor, the magnetic sensor provides the yaw angle deviation (dρ_(q))₀ in the initial state value x₀ under the NED coordinate system.

In the step S102, specifically, when the unknown state variable x includes fifteen variables, corresponding initial state values of the X-axis bias da_(x) of the three-axis accelerometer, the Y-axis bias da_(y) of the three-axis accelerometer, the Z-axis bias da_(z) of the three-axis accelerometer, the X-axis bias dg_(x) of the three-axis gyroscope, the Y-axis bias dg_(y) of the three-axis gyroscope, and the Z-axis bias dg_(z) of the three-axis gyroscope are initialized to 0, respectively.

S103, after a unit of time Δτ, the GNSS data and the IMU data at the time point k are synchronously read.

Before the step S103, preferably, in order to make the GNSS data and the IMU data have a common time standard, so as to be synchronously read and effectively applied to a standard Kalman filter, a data synchronization method is further included which includes: S300, the 1PPS signal and the NMEA GPGGA data wirelessly acquired by the GNSS receiver 2 are used to perform the time synchronization of the IMU data. As shown in FIG. 2, the microprocessor 4 acquires the 1PPS signal through an external interrupt. Since the 1PPS time point corresponds to the time of integer second, the microprocessor 4 rounds up the newly received GPGGA time to the nearest integer which is used as the initial time of the microprocessor system. On this basis, after the arrival of each subsequent 1PPS signal, the reload value (the reload value is a well-known term in the art, the timer counter decrements by one for each clock rising edge, and when the counter decrements down to 0, the counter reloads to a constant, i.e., the reload value, and then the next round of counting is started) of the timer in the microprocessor is corrected to keep the microprocessor time and GNSS time synchronized. While, for the time of the IMU data, the current microprocessor timestamp is recorded when reading the sensor data. In this embodiment, synchronization can be performed for an oscillator of any degree of stability. Since the oscillator of the system is relatively stable, it does not make sense to adjust the timer at a faster frequency. For example, but not limited to, the reload value of the timer is adjusted every 100 ms. In addition, the unit of time Δτ is a minimum period for periodically reading the GNSS data and the IMU data, as shown in FIG. 2. For example, but not limited to, the unit of time Δτ of 20 ms.

S104, a coordinate of the antenna phase center of the GNSS receiver at the time point k is acquired according to the GNSS data loaded: a longitude ϕ_(k) ^(gnss), a latitude λ_(k) ^(gnss), and a height h_(k) ^(gnss), under the NED coordinate system; an original three-dimensional attitude angle of the IMU sensor 3 at the time point k is acquired according to the IMU data loaded: a roll angle (ρ_(r))_(k), a pitch angle ({tilde over (ρ)}_(p))_(k) and a yaw angle ({tilde over (ρ)}_(q))_(k), and the observational value y_(k) of the known observational variable y at the time point k is acquired according to the GNSS data loaded and the IMU data loaded.

In the step S104, the coordinate of the phase antenna center at the time point k and the original three-dimensional attitude angle at the time point k are all obtained by methods commonly used in the art, and details are not described herein. But for the observational value y_(k) at the time point k, the method may be, but not limited to, the following equations:

S105, the unknown state variable x is predicted and corrected to obtain the state value x_(k) of the unknown state variable x at the time point k according to the dynamical model and the observational model of the Kalman filter.

In the step S105, x_(k-1) at the time point k−1 has been initialized or corrected in the previous cycle, y_(k-1) at the time point k−1 has been calculated in the previous cycle, and observational value y_(k) at the time point k has also been newly acquired, therefore, the state value x_(k) at the time point k is predicted according to the dynamical model x_(k)=Fx_(k-1)+w_(k-1) based on the algorithm principle of the Kalman filter. Then, the predicted state value x_(k) at the time point k is corrected according to the observational model y_(k)=Hx_(k)+v_(k) to accurately obtain the state value x_(k) at the time point k of the unknown state variable x.

In the step S106, the specific angle correction mode is addition, for example, for the roll angle:

(ρ_(r))_(k)=({tilde over (ρ)}_(r))_(k)+(dρ _(r))_(k).

S107, a rotation matrix (R_(xyz) ^(ned)) at the time point k from the XYZ coordinate system to the NED coordinate system is acquired according to the corrected three-dimensional attitude angle at the time point k.

In the step S107, specifically, the rotation matrix (R_(xyz) ^(ned))_(k) at the time point k is obtained according to the following formula:

$\left( R_{xyz}^{ned} \right)_{k} = {\begin{pmatrix} {{{\cos \left( \left( \rho_{q} \right)_{k} \right)}{\cos \left( \left( \rho_{r} \right)_{k} \right)}} + {{\sin \left( \left( \rho_{q} \right)_{k} \right)}*{\sin \left( \left( \rho_{r} \right)_{k} \right)}}} & {{\sin \left( \left( \rho_{q} \right)_{k} \right)}{\cos \left( \left( \rho_{p} \right)_{k} \right)}} & {{{\cos \left( \left( \rho_{q} \right)_{k} \right)}{\sin \left( \left( \rho_{r} \right)_{k} \right)}} - {{\sin \left( \left( \rho_{q} \right)_{k} \right)}{\sin \left( \left( \rho_{p} \right)_{k} \right)}{\cos \left( \left( \rho_{r} \right)_{k} \right)}}} \\ {{{- {\sin \left( \left( \rho_{q} \right)_{k} \right)}}{\cos \left( \left( \rho_{r} \right)_{k} \right)}} + {{\cos \left( \left( \rho_{q} \right)_{k} \right)}{\sin \left( \left( \rho_{p} \right)_{k} \right)}{\sin \left( \left( \rho_{r} \right)_{k} \right)}}} & {{\cos \left( \left( \rho_{q} \right)_{k} \right)}{\cos \left( \left( \rho_{p} \right)_{k} \right)}} & {{{- {\sin \left( \left( \rho_{q} \right)_{k} \right)}}{\sin \left( \left( \rho_{r} \right)_{k} \right)}} - {{\cos \left( \left( \rho_{q} \right)_{k} \right)}{\cos \left( \left( \rho_{r} \right)_{k} \right)}}} \\ {{- {\cos \left( \left( \rho_{p} \right)_{k} \right)}}{\sin \left( \left( \rho_{r} \right)_{k} \right)}} & {\sin \left( \left( \rho_{p} \right)_{k} \right)} & {{\cos \left( \left( \rho_{p} \right)_{k} \right)}{\cos \left( \left( \rho_{r} \right)_{k} \right)}} \end{pmatrix}^{- 1}.}$

S108, the position coordinate of the bottom end of the pole 1 at the time point k is acquired according to the following formula:

$\begin{pmatrix} \left( \varphi_{O} \right)_{k} \\ \left( \lambda_{O} \right)_{k} \\ \left( h_{O} \right)_{k} \end{pmatrix} = {\begin{pmatrix} \left( \varphi_{G} \right)_{k} \\ \left( \lambda_{G} \right)_{k} \\ \left( h_{G} \right)_{k} \end{pmatrix} + {\left( R_{xyz}^{ned} \right)_{k}*\begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ L \end{pmatrix}}}$

where, (ϕ_(O))_(k) is a longitude in the NED coordinate system, (λ_(O))_(k) is a latitude in the NED coordinate system, (h_(O))_(k) is a height in the NED coordinate system, and L is a length of the pole 1, which can be measured by the measuring device during the production process, such as a vernier caliper, etc.

S109, the variable k is incremented by 1 automatically, and then the steps S103-S109 are repeated until the value of the variable k is equal to or more than 20.

With the loop iterations of the step S109, based on the algorithm principle of the Kalman filter, the prediction and the correction of the designed multi-dimensional unknown state variable can be cycled for multiple times, so that the multi-dimensional unknown state variable can approach the true value as much as possible. Then, the latest three-dimensional attitude angle (i.e., roll angle, pitch angle and yaw angle) from the XYZ coordinate system to the NED coordinate system and the latest rotation matrix can be obtained efficiently and accurately based on the multi-dimensional unknown state variable. Finally, the coordinate of the antenna phase center of the GNSS receiver is reduced to the position coordinate of the bottom portion of the pole by geometric transformation, thereby completing the tilt measurement and compensation. It is reported by actual tests that the position coordinate of the bottom end of the pole meeting the measurement accuracy requirement can be generally obtained after more than 20 cycles. Taking, for instance, the unit of time of 20 ms, after the self-tilt measurement mode is started, the position coordinate of the bottom end of the pole can be obtained within Is, so that the surveying personnel is entirely free of the task of level bubble centering and leveling, which improves the work efficiency. Moreover, the tilt measurement is immune to magnetic disturbances, so the tilt measurement errors can be avoided, which ensures the accuracy of the tilt measurement and compensation.

In summary, the method for tilt measurement and compensation of the GNSS RTK surveying instrument based on the GNSS receiver and the IMU sensor provided by this embodiment has the following technical effects.

(1) The present embodiment provides a tilt measurement and compensation system based on an extremely low-cost IMU sensor, and by improving the tilt measurement and compensation method, based on the algorithm principle of the Kalman filter, the prediction and the correction of the designed multi-dimensional unknown state variable are cycled multiple times to make the multi-dimensional unknown state variable approach the true value as much as possible. Then, based on the multi-dimensional unknown state variable, the latest three-dimensional attitude angle (i.e., the roll angle, the pitch angle and the yaw angle) from the XYZ coordinate system to the NED coordinate system and the latest rotation matrix can be obtained efficiently and accurately. In the end, the coordinate of the antenna phase center of the GNSS receiver is reduced to the position coordinate of the end portion of the pole by a geometric transformation, thereby completing the tilt measurement.

(2) The surveyor is not required to perform the task of centering the level bubble and leveling the pole, which improves the work efficiency. Moreover, without introducing the magnetic components, the tilt measurement is immune to magnetic disturbances, so the tilt measurement errors can be avoided, ensuring the accuracy of the tilt measurement and compensation.

(3) The IMU sensor can be placed anywhere inside the GNSS receiver, and the magnetic sensor may or may not be included, improving the design flexibility and reducing the production difficulty of the GNSS RTK surveying instrument, facilitating practical application and promotion.

Embodiment 2

As shown in FIG. 3, a further optimization based on embodiment 1 is proposed in this embodiment, i.e., a method for tilt measurement and compensation of the GNSS RTK surveying instrument, which further includes an installation angle self-calibration method described in the following steps S201-S204 after the step S102:

S201, by performing the steps S103-S108, successively acquiring S position coordinates of the bottom end of the pole corresponding to different antenna phase center positions during the movements of the pole including: ((ϕ_(O))_(k1) (λ_(O))_(k1) (h_(O))_(k1))^(T), ((ϕ_(O))_(k2) (λ_(O))_(k2) (h_(O))_(k2))^(T), . . . , ((ϕ_(O))_(kS) (λ_(O))_(kS) (h_(O))_(kS))^(T), wherein, S is a natural number equal to or more than 2, the S^(th) position coordinate of the bottom end of the pole is a latest acquired position coordinate of the bottom end of the pole.

In the step S201, since the GNSS RTK surveying instrument requires the pole to be strictly parallel to the Z-axis of the body coordinate system while the device that is not calibrated cannot meet this requirement, the present embodiment estimates the installation pitch angle and the installation roll angle, so that the angular error caused by the assembling process of the device can be avoided, and the angular error caused by the non-vertical (e.g., curved) pole can be avoided, thereby reducing the application restrictions of the device, and being appropriate for various types of poles. In addition, by shaking the pole 1, the position coordinates of the bottom end of the pole can be obtained at different antenna phase center positions, thereby ensuring the mutual independency and solvability of the subsequent equations. As shown in FIG. 3, for example, position coordinates OA, OB, OC, and OD of the bottom positions of the pole in one-to-one correspondence to different antenna phase center positions A, B, C, and D can be obtained. Moreover, assuming the point O is the true position of the bottom end of the pole.

S202, the following equation is established:

$\quad\left\{ \begin{matrix} \begin{matrix} {{\begin{pmatrix} \left( \varphi_{O} \right)_{k\; 1} \\ \left( \lambda_{O} \right)_{k\; 1} \\ \left( h_{O} \right)_{k\; 1} \end{pmatrix} + {L*\left( R_{xyz}^{ned} \right)_{k\; 1}\begin{pmatrix} {\Delta \; p} \\ {{- \Delta}\; r} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}} - \begin{pmatrix} \varphi_{O} \\ \lambda_{O} \\ h_{O} \end{pmatrix}} = 0} \\ {{\begin{pmatrix} \left( \varphi_{O} \right)_{k\; 2} \\ \left( \lambda_{O} \right)_{k\; 2} \\ \left( h_{O} \right)_{k\; 2} \end{pmatrix} + {L*\left( R_{xyz}^{ned} \right)_{k\; 2}\begin{pmatrix} {\Delta \; p} \\ {{- \Delta}\; r} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}} - \begin{pmatrix} \varphi_{O} \\ \lambda_{O} \\ h_{O} \end{pmatrix}} = 0} \\ \vdots \end{matrix} \\ {{\begin{pmatrix} \left( \varphi_{O} \right)_{kS} \\ \left( \lambda_{O} \right)_{kS} \\ \left( h_{O} \right)_{kS} \end{pmatrix} + {L*\left( R_{xyz}^{ned} \right)_{kS}\begin{pmatrix} {\Delta \; p} \\ {{- \Delta}\; r} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}} - \begin{pmatrix} \varphi_{O} \\ \lambda_{O} \\ h_{O} \end{pmatrix}} = 0} \end{matrix} \right.$

where, (R_(xyz) ^(ned))_(k1), (R_(xyz) ^(ned))_(k2), . . . , (R_(xyz) ^(ned))_(kS) in one-to-one correspondence to different antenna phase centers are rotation matrices obtained from the step S107, L is the length of the pole 1, Δp is an installation pitch angle to be solved, Δr is an installation roll angle to be solved, ϕ_(O) is a true longitude of the bottom end of the pole 1 to be solved, λ_(O) is a true latitude of the bottom end of the pole 1 to be solved, and h_(O) is a true height of the bottom end of the pole 1 to be solved.

In the step S202, since there are five objects to be solved, theoretically, only five mutually independent equations need to be established to solve the target objects. Therefore, the value of S can be at least two, and thus six mutually independent equations can be established.

S203, the foregoing equations are operated and calculated to obtain an average installation pitch angle Δp, an average installation roll angle Δr, and a true position coordinate of the bottom end of the pole: (ϕ_(O) λ_(O) h_(O))^(T).

In the step S203, since the number of the established equations (at least 6) is larger than the number of objects to be solved (basically 5), different numerical results for the same object to be solved are obtained, and thus an averaging process is needed, so that the true coordinate of the bottom end of the pole is getting closer to the true value.

S204, if the error between the S^(th) position coordinate of the bottom end of the pole and true position coordinate of the bottom end of the pole satisfies a predetermined threshold value, a prompt indicating that the self-calibration of the installation angle is completed is generated, otherwise the steps S201 to S204 are repeated.

In the step S204, the prompt indicating that the self-calibration of the installation angle is completed is used to give a prompt to the outside that the self-calibration of the installation angle is finished, and the position coordinates of the bottom end of the pole that are output afterwards are all acceptable.

This embodiment has the following advantage on the basis of the technical effects of embodiment 1: (1) Estimation can be performed based on the installation pitch angle and the installation roll angle, so that the angular error caused by the assembling process of the device can be eliminated, and the angular error caused by the non-vertical pole (e.g., curved) can be avoided, thereby reducing the application restrictions of the device, and being appropriate for various kinds of poles without requiring any type of factory calibration as self-calibration can always be done during the operation process.
